Chapter 100, 11 verses
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
And strike sparks of fire,
فالموريات قدحا
Faalmooriyati qadhan
Striking sparks of fire
And push home the charge in the morning,
فالمغيرات صبحا
Faalmugheerati subhan
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
فأثرن به نقعا
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
فوسطن به جمعا
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
وحصل ما في الصدور
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
